cargo box

Vehicle storage compartment

A cargo box is a container designed to transport goods, typically a rigid rectangular box mounted on a vehicle roof or attached to a trailer hitch.

Roof-mounted cargo boxes provide extra storage for road trips: We strapped the camping gear into the cargo box.

The term also applies to larger shipping containers used in freight transport.
